Press Groups Sue Trump Over $100K/Month Paid Access to Presidential Truth Social Posts

FPF and The Intercept sued President Trump on August 12, 2026, in the Southern District of New York, alleging Truth Social's Truth API — $100,000 per month for millisecond-faster access to presidential posts — violates the First and Fifth Amendments by creating wealth-based tiers for official government communications. Yale Law School's MFIA Clinic represents the plaintiffs. The suit names aides Harp and Scavino as co-defendants and seeks to end the paid API.
